Because The Hacienda was closed we thought we would try the American Kitchen. It is a beautiful restaurant . Our server was excellent and friendly. I ordered Nachos and was impressed with how big it was. But it was terrible . My hubby had a roast beef sandwich and said it was just ok. Next time we'll try The Bourbon or go back to the Hacienda ! For their yummy little tacos and margaritas!

We were staying at the hotel and decided to have breakfast here on our last day. I loved the indoor/outdoor seating and atmosphere. It was a weekday so not crowded at all (we made a reservation through Open Table but there was no wait). Really enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. Bacon, ham, avocado, tomato and a fried egg on toasted bread - what's not to love? It was flavorful and filling. Highly recommend. Hubby had the Oscar Benedict with crab and asparagus, which he liked as well. Fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. But we didn't realize until we got the bill that it was also $6 each - yikes! Service was good and fast. The menu is pricey, but at a resort like this, it's pretty much what you would expect to pay. Except for the OJ that is, lol.

The continental breakfast is imaginative...on one dish: a yogurt parfait with fresh berries and honey, a bran muffin, and a fresh squeezed green machine type juice. I asked for a substitute to the bran muffin (it was too huge) and tried the banana nut bread and then the multi-grain toast instead...YUM! The service is pleasant and friendly. TIP: Check first if they have the daily newspapers. We had to get them from the gift shop or front desk as they seemed to be short in supply. Also, they only stock a couple of coffee flavors and one isn't vanilla :( for my soy latte addiction.

Ate the breakfast buffet here because family was in town and staying at the Fairmont and they wanted to use some breakfast buffet vouchers. Let me just say, the buffet is $28 without a voucher. Automatically that sets you up for expecting some better than average breakfast! I have to say that the breakfast here was just average. The oatmeal was a little thick and gloppy. I wanted to thin it out with soy milk (I can't drink dairy) but they didn't have any. Other foods were pretty good. I loved the bacon!! And I liked the fruit (melon, cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple). They will also make you an omelette if you want, but I didn't bother. Some other stuff they had that I didn't try: waffles, cereal, yogurt, sausage. They do have ADORABLE little condiments, like a tiny Tabasco bottle, tiny ketchup bottles, little jams, a small pot of honey. It seems a little wasteful, but the small packaging is so adorable! The patio is nice and shaded, but we ate inside on this day since it was a little chilly. Lots of birds coming by to eat crumbs, so there was some fun bird watching. Also some birds came in the building! Service was friendly, but one annoying thing is we gave her the vouchers at the beginning of the meal, yet she still rang us up for the breakfast buffet and we had to remind her about the vouchers. p.s. they validate for valet

Different but good. The Big Daddy was more like a cheese steak, fries extra crunchy. The chicken skewers and crab cakes were the best.

i had lunch today at the ironwood american kitchen at the scottsdale princess and it was the WORSE food I've had. I had the turkey burger....the meat tasted and had the consistency of spam. If not for the condiments the meal would have been inedible. (the meat was inedible) A friend had pastrami that she did not eat because of taste as well. very disappointing...

I love Ironwood, except I've only had the chance to eat here with their lunch/dinner menu. Its the restaurant located on the first floor near the pool at the Fairmont, and its a beautiful place to get food when its nice out. Very open floor plan with a LOT of windows. The service is great, I've never had my water glass go less than 3/4ths of the way down. There are a couple of great dishes (in my opinion). My favorite is the Spanish Ham flatbread with fig and herb/parmesan cheese.. delicious. Everything is made fresh to order, including their juices.(get an iced tea to go as well!) My second favorite dish is the pan salmon, its straight oven to table, so its extremely hot when you get it, still in its original baking dish. Its in this yellow pepper sauce which is delightfully paired with asparagus and mushrooms. They have childrens menus and even little leap pads for the kids to play with while the adults enjoy their meal. I've even seen them give kids little sunglasses on their way out/in. The menu for lunch and dinner is the same, and lunch is served typically starting at 11:30am. Everyone RAVES about their breakfast, but I havent been able to try it yet. If you're in the fairmont area and want a casual atmosphere with great service and phenomenally fresh food, this is your place. But, if you want mexican food... you HAVE to go to la hacienda on the same property.

Who would have thought my number one takeaway from eating here would be "good for groups," but it is! Recently, I planned a girl's day for some of my friends. We were going to do a spa party at Willow Stream but I wanted to plan a lunch before we went. Since we were going to be at the Princess, I decided to stay in-house and chose Ironwood. Initially, I booked a table on the patio overlooking the pretty pool, but when the day of the event arrived the chilly temperatures made an outdoor table obsolete. I called to change the reservation and they happily complied and told me that they had a small room off the restaurant that could hold 11. I showed up a little early and the table was already set and ready to go. I noticed that they also have a table of different fun games so I grabbed a "Foodie Fight" game just in case we wanted it. Throughout the meal, the waitress was friendly, helpful and fast! She separated our tabs and before we could even blink and eye, she presented individual tabs to us at the end of the meal. It was the most seamless paying process for a group meal I've ever experience. Not to mention that the food was good too! I've eaten at the spa before and was happy to learn that they offer that menu in Ironwood in addition to their regular menu. I ordered the yogurt curry chicken lettuce wraps which were low in fat but high in flavor. Everything about the meal was lovely and I would definitely come back with a group.

The place is very friendly and the food is great. I had the Mahi mahi salad and it was great. My last meal there I had the fish tacos and they were excellent. The restaurant is inside the Fairmont Princess hotel which is very convenient. I would recommend this restaurant.

Just had breakfast today. I ended up creating my own omelet. The waiter was nice. I have to eat gluten free and they had Gluten Free bread. OUTSTANDING. They also game me a gluten free muffin. The price is a little high, but I loved my breakfast.

We made the mistake of having breakfast here one weekend morning while staying at the Fairmont. The eggs Benedict Oscar was a complete disappointment. The crab meat, literally less than half a teaspoon was mixed in a hash along with onions and chopped asparagus placed on the plate in between the Benedict instead of on top. The hash was obviously a filler for the absolute lack of crab meat. Surprisingly, the menu didn't list the hash nor onions in the description. Onion and asparagus hash isn't Oscar anywhere in the Western world. The poached eggs might as well have been hard boiled because they were way over cooked. Service was virtually non existant as well and it wasn't like the place was busy by any measure. I'm surprised how bad the experience was considering La Hacienda is on the same property and it is truly a 4-star dining experience.

Happened by for breakfast while staying at this lovely resort. Breakfast buffet is $22 and includes coffee or tea. Hubby chose the buffet and I opted for the crab Benedict. The Benedict was clearly, hands down, the best ever. Big chunks of crab. Served with an amazing micro greens salad. It was $17 and I was still a little hungry so I ordered the potatoes and multigrain toast. Mainly the toast to try the cherry jam on the table. Ambiance is nice and we laughed at the comical birds on the patio. Service was great and we had an awesome start to our day of relaxation.

Yikes. I'm usually a very generous review giver. It took 50 mins for food to get there and only when we asked did they start cooking it. Didn't ask how we wanted the burgers cooked. The chop salad with chicken had a nasty bone in it and almost made my friend's date choke. When we complained to the manager he said they'd take 20% off, salt in the wound. Our waitress rarely checked on us. We needed more catsup and had to finish our fries dry. Lastly she mixed up our validated valet cards so we didn't know which car we were going to get. Surprise!

We made a stop at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort for lunch and ended up at the Ironwood American Kitchen. Pros: Nice setting, we sat on the patio with a view of the pool. Good service. Liked that they left big bottles of water on the table since it was close to 85 degrees during our visit. Nice touch. Cons: Food was so so. We ordered two different salads and neither was remarkable. They told us they had just gone to a farm to table concept. I guess that's why the servers all wear jeans. At lunch we were presented a cocktail menu where our server pointed to the limited selection of cocktails they could make during the afternoon. We ordered two different margaritas. One was their regular, the other was the special. Neither were good. Maybe it would be a better place to try for dinner. They could do a much better job on their lunch menu and food preparation.

This was the worst dining experience I might have ever had. We went to Christmas at the Princess last night and chose this restaurant since we have small kids. We ordered appetizers and mac n cheese for our 2 year old right away to get him occupied. None of these came. At least half an hour later, when our food came, they remembered the appetizers. We had to special request our sons order and of course he was antsy by this point. The food was less than memorable. Some of our party had to send their burgers back due to them being undercooked. Another member of our party ordered a burger and got a chicken sandwich. The prices were in the $16 dollar range for a burger which is very expensive for what was terrible service and food. The server rarely checked on us and we kept having to get up and as for things we needed. To top it all off, when they finally brought the bill it was totally wrong and jumbled so we had to sit and write out specifically what went on each of our 2 bills in order to get it right. When we mentioned to the manager how terrible the experience was he was confrontational stating that he had removed the late appetizers and undercooked burgers from the bill and wasn't that enough. I'd recommend eating eating before going to the Princess if you have kids. Or choose one of the other restaurants if you aren't bringing kids and have a larger budget. Definitely avoid this restaurant as literally everything was a mess from the moment we walked in on. And you'd hope for friendly at least, but the servers barely cracked a smile and had quite an edge to them.

Ironwood American Kitchen is one of four restaurants located in the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort. Here are some comments: Pros: open all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner (I think this is the only restaurant open for breakfast at the resort), convenient location for those staying at the hotel, friendly staff, big bottles of chilled water given to guests at each table, fast and responsive service, "lifestyle plus" menu for heart-healthy, diabetic, vegan and gluten-free needs So-so: the food is simply "ok" with enough choices on the breakfast menu to satisfy everyone Cons: pricing ($4 for drip coffee, $9 for a bowl of berries, $14 for a fruit plate, and $3 for toast which doesn't come with any of the breakfast orders) I really didn't like the fact that I had to pay an extra $3 in addition to the $16 for my "american breakfast" which included eggs, bacon/sausage/ham and potatoes. The omlettes also didn't come with toast. It seemed like again, it was a cash grab. I can live with some price inflation at this restaurant since you're pretty much stuck eating here if you don't have a car but it seemed a little chintzy to not include something as simple as toast.
